openssh unix dev - May 2001 - 2GB File size limit in scp. ver 2.9p1 and 2.5.2

Hi,
I need to be able to use scp with files over 2GB.
I've currently got a set of boxes running 2.5.2p2, and this is unable, as I
understand it, to transfer these files. 

I've just downloaded the latest snapshot, 20010501, it complies fine on two
rh7.1 machines, but again, I can't scp a file over 2GB. I get the same
"file
to large" error on the client as before.

What, if anything, am I doing wrong? I'm running a standard build, default
config files, and everything but the large files works.

Does adding

#define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64

near the start of scp.c help matters?
